Morality without the righteous. What is right and wrong?
#2
RE: Morality without the righteous. What is right and wrong?
Which way do you want to take it? Lets try self interest. If you hit your neighbor he'll probably stab you in the liver when you aren't looking....but...if you help your other neighbor he may hold the would be stab-er at bay. So in this case, whats wrong is roughly equivalent to what is detrimental to yourself or whatever you encompass, and whats right is whatever is beneficial to the same. A wide range of "wrong" and "right" throughout or past and here in the present could probably be covered by this - whether or not it's accurate in and of itself, or whether or not it should be this way...............meh.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
